PRACTICE AREAS

ECONOMIC GROWTH & TRADE

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (SMEs or MSMEs) are often the largest, and sometimes only, source of employment in vulnerable communities. Supporting MSMEs comes with built in sustainability since these companies tend to reinvest profits locally, creating new jobs. We help clients to understand, strengthen, and deliver specialized services to these businesses by increasing skills and accessing new markets, leading to greater stability locally and regionally. ​

An in depth understanding of local economies, culture, politics, and context are essential to policy, business, and programmatic success in cross cultural environments. McCO designs and delivers in depth, country and region specific cultural training courses for adult learners. Our suite of bespoke advisory services are designed for short and long term support to senior leaders in government and industry. We build the skills necessary for our clients to achieve their mission and objectives.

Dynamic partnerships can accelerate stability, growth, and positive change. When properly facilitated and organized, diaspora members - individuals who have left their country of origin, but retain strong ties and affinities for their homeland - are critical drivers of growth. Our team assists by activating diaspora groups interested in giving back to their communities of origin, together with strategic partners, and philanthropists.
